If you want straightforward support for dealing with life stressors, Janet works to make the process understandable and manageable.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on chosen values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where motivation or meaning feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and can help with intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for keeping therapy consistent during life changes. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions align with your daily routine.
